To Bonhams on New Bond Street, where the likes of Joanna Lumley and Richard Hammond gathered to toast the auction of the two-millionth Land Rover Defender 4x4. Not only was it the last of its kind, it was also assembled by an all-star cast including Bear Grylls and Virginia McKenna (who attached the wheels and number plate). It joyfully fetched a whopping £400,000 in the auction, with proceeds going towards the Red Cross and Born Free. It's got a long journey ahead of it though - the winning bid came all the way from Qatar.
